Complaint #1370671 submitted on 05/12/2015 relating to Secure Capital Management, Inc.. Complaint relates to Debt collection Payday loan - Disclosure verification of debt Not disclosed as an attempt to collect.
Complaint was submitted via Web and sent to the company on Tuesday 12th May 2015.
Received a phone call from my mother stating that some contacted her pertaining to a legal matter and wanted to meet me jn person. I returned the a message o my phone from the same person who answered the phone " hello ''. I told them i was returning a call and he said my name then started asking personal questions. I interrupted him and stated I would give no information without verification of who he was. He mumbled " SCM '' a few times before i asked him what " SCM '' was. after a few times of asking he told me Secure Capital Management. He asked when the best time would be for me to be home and meet someone who would be delivering me certified legal papers for me to sign. He then went in to give supposed details of the balance owed, to whom, the date opened, and what he could settle it for. I told him I would contact my legal counsel and they could deliver the paperwork to him. He stated he had to have this taken care of by end of business today or they would go forward with garnishment and court proceedings. I let him know that it would cost them way more to take it to court than the little {$390.00} balance I was to supposedly owe, all I want is official paperwork proving the debt. I told him I would need confirmation of a debt owed and he stated that its legit and would be on me to prove its not because all my personal information was tied to it. I told him I had no problem paying the balance if I received paperwork or something showing this debt owed was true and the company was real, I explained to him I was not handing my personal information over unknown if it was a scam or not because how he answered the phone and with never receiving a bill or phone call prior to this date. He stated that he would send me an official email but I had to call him back within an hour so he could follow up with the clients for further legal action if needed and I ended the call. He never relayed to me that it was an attempt to collect a debt and any jnformation would be used for that purpose. I confirmed with original debtor that there was an outstanding balance and did call the company and spoke to another staff to pay the debt. Debt was paid but he did relay the information I requested from him that the original staff name was XXXX XXXX who gave out my information without ensuring it was me, did not tell me that this was a call to collect a date, and that was dishonest about it having to be finished today or court proceedings would begin. Can theh call and tell you to set up a time to have someone meet you to sig for certified legal paperwork? I thought court papers would be mailed certified amd signed for through XXXX or delivered by county sheriff and signed for through them.
